Abstract Wrong camera - Wrong Lens

Wrong camera - Wrong Lens · **3 Likes**

Wish I had had a different camera , but I had to try with what was on hand ...

K100D + Vivitar 28-105 F3.5 manual focus + 40mm Macro extension ...

This was the only one worth a share :

One of the holly grails of Macro = "Hovering Bee"

F16 - ISO400 - 1/160

Given a choice between a stack of decent pictures, or one killer shot like this, I'd take the one shot any day of the week. This is so cool! I don't think the best gear in the world could give you anything better.

I love passion flowers, too. One of the few flowers I can identify.

It is a passion flower, right?

Yes , passion fruit flower ...

A great shot. I'm not sure what was wrong with the camera and lens!

old4570 · 12-12-2013, 12:13 AM

A play on the fact I have better cameras and lenses ...

I was testing the vivitar lens ( Old manual zoom lens ) and had a 36mm Macro tube behind it ... To improve the macro ...

That is one seriously good shot.

Great shot. Even the bee would be impressed.

Dunno. He might ask if his bum looks big in this.

So what is exactly wrong with this image, I'm not getting any problems, I think it's a stunning shot, well done.

Awesome shot! WHo cares what camera and which lens was used - the proof is in the pudding ( I mean picture)

I shudder to think what you might do with the right camera and lens. Personally speaking I would be tickled pink if I captured that image with anything I own.

**TedH42** · 12-12-2013, 06:29 PM

Wrong camera, wrong lens, but the right shot. Well done.
